Cary Jobe for The New York Times ON THE WATER The marina at the Wharf, a development of condos, stores and restaurants in Orange Beach, Ala. By JOE SAMUEL STARNES Published: December 23, 2008 DEBBIE AND BROCK HATTOX started their hunt for a second home with two conditions. “He wanted to play golf year-round,” Mrs. Hattox said, “and I wanted to be on some type of water.”  The couple were living in Atlanta when they began their search 10 years ago. They visited many spots, including Hilton Head, S.C., where they had lived in the 1970s, and various waterfront sites in Florida. When Mr. Hattox’s younger brother suggested Gulf Shores, Ala., Mrs. Hattox turned to the map. “I didn’t realize Alabama had a coastline,” she said. She learned that Alabama does in fact have 32 miles of shoreline, th... 12/29/2008

Local lenders hope low rates spur buyers Sunday, December 21, 2008 By KATHY JUMPER Real Estate Editor How low can they go? Mortgage lenders hope the answer is low enough to spur potential home buyers to get off the fence and buy. The 4.5 to 5 percent rates are "mighty good," said Ken Cramton, vice president of HMC, Home Mortgage Co., in Fairhope. He said the Federal Reserve appears determined to "drive rates down and bring the housing market back, which will bring the economy back." The Fed last week cut its funds rate from 1 percent to a target range of zero to 0.25 percent and pledged to keep funneling money into the market for mortgage investments. Local and national mortgage brokers reported a surge of calls from borrowers trying to take advantage of the lower rates. Some lenders we... 12/21/2008

Prickett Properties LLC, www.GoToTheGulfCoast.com, has recently closed on a construction loan to build a duplex in the Dunes Subdivision in the Fort Morgan Area. The Dunes is a beautiful, beachside neighborhood that is adjacent to Fort Morgan Alabama (Gulf Shores Alabama). The area has so much to offer in that it is not overbuilt, the beaches are wide, and there is easy access to boating for the beach home owners in the Dunes Subdivision. If you want to experience the beach like yester years, this is the place to go. There are no cheezy t-shirt shops and the likely hood of seeing a group of 20 spring breakers in one condo is slim. Fort Morgan is truly a hidden jewel and Prickett Properties LLC has many vacation rentals in the area. The Indies Condominiums are one of the many buildings t... 11/24/2008

Staging offers edge for sellers Sunday, October 12, 2008 By KATHY JUMPER Real Estate Editor Angela Blankinchip took a vacant house that had been on the market for nine months and turned it into an attractive, furnished home that brought an offer three days later. The house sold for list price two weeks later, said Blankinchip, owner of the franchise Showhomes-Mobile/Baldwin County. Staging homes to help them sell has become a hot ticket for builders, real estate agents and their clients, especially in the current market slowdown. Homeowners and Realtors are asking how they can we get an edge in the market, according to Jane Ann Lance, owner of Staged Homes of Mobile, who noticed an uptick in activity six months ago. "It's had a lot to do with the media and people's perception of the eco... 10/13/2008
